Surely there’s a DC pop-up imprint that can swing that.įor all those reasons I was keen to give Passageway a try. Consider like a Seven Soldiers of Victory schema writ large - a lead-off graphic novel, a variety of related miniseries, and then a graphic novel closing. I’d so like to see DC jump on this approach, what the Earth One books once seemed like before they petered out and/or had years between volumes - mainstream, part-of-an-ongoing-story OGNs, and pairing them with miniseries seems just the right approach. Second is that “Bone Orchard” is the umbrella title for what’s said to be a “shared horror universe” headed by Lemire and Sorrentino and including graphic novels and miniseries - so, trades, trades, graphic novels, and more trades. I’m remiss, and will have to rectify, that I have not read their re-teaming on Image’s Primordial or Gideon Falls, but I was pleased to re-join them for Passageway. At the time, each was doing great DC work on their own - Lemire writing a quirky, smart Animal Man, Sorrentino bringing detailed, moody art to I, Vampire - together they were clearly magic. First, it’s by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino, the dynamite team behind a legendary New 52 Green Arrow run. Image Comics' new graphic novel Bone Orchard: The Passageway came to my attention for a couple of reasons.
